Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Valeria replied, "It's alright. I'll communicate with Mr. Cooper. He may not be aware of the details. If he learns about your situation, he'll definitely take on the case," One must know that Keith's secretary was also a snob and had never taken on ordinary people's cases.

The man said, "Alright, I'll be waiting for you at Lily Cafe. See you there."

"Alright, I'll be right out."

Valeria immediately got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Then, she changed into a new outfit, borrowed a car from Ernest, and left the manor.

After she left, Ernest called Hackett to report. On the other end of the line, Hackett was in a meeting with a client and casually responded, "Understood."

While driving, Valeria was in contact with Keith. She had studied law in order to uphold justice, and now that such a tragic case had come up, she had no reason to stand idly by.

It took a long time for the call to connect, and Keith's voice came through. "Valeria? I didn't expect you to call me voluntarily. After yesterday, I thought you'd never call me again in your life. Valeria didn't want to call Keith, but this matter was indeed urgent, and she couldn't worry about that now.

"Keith, listen, it's extremely urgent now. There's a case that's been brought to my attention, but I'm really not in a position to handle the defense right now. I want to pass this case on to you. To put it simply, it's a case where a three-year-old girl was killed by a guy. It's said that the guy has hired a lawyer, and there's a high chance this case may result in probation for the perpetrator. The father..."

Valeria's words were interrupted by Keith's question. "Have you confirmed that it's true? Valeria, have you been deceived? If such a heinous case is true, there's no reason for me not to know. I deal with the police and the courts all day long. If there is such a heinous case, how could I not know? Are you sure it was the parties involved who contacted you?"

Suddenly, Valeria calmed down, and the car had already come to a slow stop near Lily Cafe.

She quickly found a parking spot and then picked up her phone to continue the conversation with Keith.

"The person who called claimed to be the little girl's father. If he was lying, why would he make up such a tragic story. contact me? And why did he set up a meeting at Lily Cafe? What's his intention?"

"Have you already arrived at the cafe? Don't go in yet. Wait for me. I'm on my way. I'm near Lily Cafe."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Valeria fell into contemplation and confusion.

She felt it shouldn't be a lie. Why would someone make up such a tragic story to deceive her? And what was their motive? After getting out of the car, Valeria arrived outside the cafe, scanning the interior. After a while, she couldn't find anyone who' matched the description of the man from the phone call. After a while, Keith appeared behind her. "Valeria."

She turned around. "Keith, you're here."

Keith said, "I made some calls just now. There's been no recent trial for a case of this nature, and a case like this would definitely make the news. I haven't seen anything about it in any news reports. You might have been deceived."

Valeria furrowed her brows and didn't say anything. Instead, she picked up her phone and dialed the unfamiliar number from before.

Unexpectedly, the phone was turned off.

What did this mean? The man asked her to meet him, but he turned off their phone.

Could it be, as Keith suggested, that she was being deceived?

"This is strange. It's turned off. Could it really have been a ploy to lure me out? But for what purpose?" Valeria said. She then looked at Keith.

Keith couldn't make sense of the call either. He said, "It might be someone with a grudge against you. You've taken on many tough cases in the name of justice. Those people hold deep grudges against you.

Valeria went quiet, contemplating if an enemy was trying to take revenge on her.

"Let me take you back. Otherwise, someone might come to take you away soon. Keith suggested.

Valeria took another glance around the cafe, which wasn't crowded. Still, it was filled with young people, none of whom matched the middle-aged man with the weary voice from the phone call. Had she really been deceived?

Just as she was about to leave, she spotted a familiar figure in the cafe. It looked like Yumi.

Valeria thought she might be mistaken, but she approached for a closer look. It was indeed Yumi.

How coincidental. Yumi was in this cafe?

"Valeria, what are you looking at? Let's go."

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing. I just saw someone I know."

So, Valeria turned and left with Keith. She was still unable to figure out who the man on the phone was and why he had tried to deceive her.

After getting into the car, even Keith

couldn't help but be puzzled. "That person called you to trick you out, but now that you're here, nothing has happened? Even if they wanted they should

to retaliate against yfirst

have taken you away first.

After receiving the call, Keith rushed over, fearing that he might be a step too late and Valeria would be taken away.

"Yeah, it's really strange. During the time I was waiting for you, no one approached me or said anything," Valeria replied.

In the evening, Hackett returned to the manor, where Ernest greeted him.

"Mr. James, welcome back. Would you like to have dinner?"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"No need. Where's Valeria? Has she returned?" Hackett asked.

"Ms. Sharp has indeed returned, but she came back with Mr. Keith. After he brought her back, he left," Ernest replied truthfully.

Hackett stopped in his tracks and frowned at Ernest. "Keith? How did she end up with Keith again?"

Ernest remained silent. After all, he didn't know what had transpired between them.

Hackett walked straight toward

Valeria's room, determined to get a clear answer. So, her hurried departure earlier was for a secret meeting with Keith? And she even let Keith drive her back It was as if she didn't regard him as her lawful husband at all.

Before reaching Valeria's room, his phone vibrated.

Taking a look, he saw that it was a call from Harry. answered Speak."

"Where did my sister go? She hasn't returned all day. She was at your place last night. When I called this morning, your butler said she had already taken your car back in the Thorning. But she still hasn't come home. What the hell is going on?" Harry's voice on the other end of the line was seething with anger.

Hackett immediately darkened. "What are you saying? Yumi hasn't come home? You haven't seen her all day?"

"Yeah! She's not answering her phone, and I can't find her anywhere. Where could she have gone?"

"I dropped her off at home this morning and left. How would I know where she went?" Hackett felt this wasn't his fault at all.

On the other end of the line, Harry grew even more furious. "What are you saying? Are you playing dumb She's gone missing, and I can't find her no matter how I try. Help me look for her! You have such a wide network!"

With that, Harry hung up the phone.
